    Kenya's Total Public Debt has risen sharply from 2016 to the projected figure for 2025.

    This signals a persistent fiscal imbalance as the debt has expanded faster than the economy.

    A report by TISA shows a consistent climb in public debt, while the GDP Growth Rate has been more volatile, including a dip below debt growth in 2021.

    This debt explosion is compounded by serious governance challenges, as evidenced by the high number of graft reports received by the EACC.
